Shindig! began in 1993 under the name Gravedigger to chronicles ’60s garage-punk and contemporary garage bands from the ’80s and early ’90s. The fanzine then embraced psychedelia, mod and associated sub-genres with a growing team of writers and a name change to Shindig! Shindig! was distributed via record shops and found a niche before falling by the wayside in the late ’90s and becoming a reviews website. Shindig! re-emerged from the ashes phoenix-like under the wing of Volcano Publishing in the early naughties and has been a mainstay of the high street ever since, growing way beyond its garage roots.
